Week 4 Crit

by

We’ve got more NFL action in London, but first, we offer up our Week 4 Crit podcast, where the guys look back on all the Week 4 games.

The link to the podcast is at the bottom of this thread, because we have some exciting local news first.

Bills & Jaguars in London

With the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars also in town, we would be remiss if we didn’t offer you up some fun things to do this week.

The weather looks like we well and truly fucked planetary warm, which is good for football, as fans will bask in new normal temperatures in north London.

Getting to the stadium will be way easier, thanks to the tube lines calling off their strike, and trains should be moving better than last week.

The Rugby World Cup will be dominating the screens this week, so if you’re looking to catch some college football, it might be best catching a stream at home, or using a UK betting app so that you can catch the feed on your device (Bet 365).

If you’re looking to up your Sunday Funday action, why not take a cruise with the fun folks at Tailgreeter, who are hosting a funtastic Sunday morning of fun with their Thames River Cruise.

Boarding and offloading at Festival Pier on the banks of the mighty Thames, guests will be treated to a four hour cruise that would make Gilligan and the gang jealous.

Not only do fans get to sight see across London by river for 4 hours, there will be games, free swag, a bbq buffet, 3 free drinks, and an EXTRA free drink when you use promo code NFLLONDON.

Best of all, the Tailgreeter gang is going to drop you off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in time for gametime between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Tailgreeter Thames River Cruise goes from 9am to 1pm, giving you enough sea legs of sauce to get you to your seats in time for the 2:30pm kickoff.
There are no loos on the bus, so please plan your bladder’s accordingly.

If you want to get tickets for this Thames River Cruise of NFL adventure, just click on the link here to get tickets.
Don’t forget promo code NFLLONDON to snag yourself a beverage on us. You deserve it.

Among some other things that you might want to consider this weekend is comedy! London has loads of fantastic comedy clubs and acts that you might want to check out.

Post covid, many comedy clubs across the UK have been struggling, as have the comics. This has brought on a huge new boom of great comedy however, so make sure that you check out some gigs if you want to take a break from some of the NFL hullabaloo.

Among some of the shows we would recommend:

  • UK funnyman Peter Kay is playing the O2 Saturday & is a great diplomat of British comedy
  • Ricky Gervais is playing Friday at Wembley if you like that kind of comedy
  • US Latino superstar Gabriel ‘Fluffy’ Iglesias plays the O2 on Friday
  • The hilarious Paul Chowdhry performs his solo show at the Leicester Square Theatre all weekend
  • The Comedy Store packs big hilarity with Ian Stone; Marcel Lucont; & more all weekend
  • Micky Flanagan performs at the Lyric Theatre-with Harry Styles & James Cordon in this week

Week 4 Crit

What a week it was to show the separation in tiers between good teams, great teams, and just terrible teams. (looking at you Bears!)

Ryan and Wade meander through the games and look at what and who were the difference makers.

Ryan actually blushes on the podcast when talking about the Bills beatdown of the Dolphins on Sunday, so make sure that you at least catch that moment.

TNF- Bears (0-4) vs -6 WASH (2-2) +45

The guys also preview the slovenly TNF matchup between the winless Bears, and the WASH team that almost took out the Eagles.

It’s a big spread here, but the guys both like the WASH team to win, but the Bears cover.

Listen to the whole thing, and rub it all over you like you’re about to hop in the smoker.

 

 

Week 4 Picks

by

Welcome to London NFL fans, as we discuss the Falcons Jaguars game in our Week 4 Picks podcast.

Wade and Ryan are excited to see the first NFL game of the European leg, and as the Ryder Cup has show us so far that Europe has its own winning ways.

A train and tube strike is threatening to chunk away a good selection of fans for this game sadly, so hopefully many of these late tickets will get scooped up.
All in all, it looks to be another consistent NFL London game, with low scoring and wide jersey dispersion.
The amazing UK fans more than make up for it all, and it will truly be a fun experience.

If you want to listen to the guys go off on their podcast, all you have to do is click this link here.

Among some of the games the guys look at in this episode includes:

Falcons (2-1) vs -3 Jaguars (1-2)  +43

It’s the first of the 2023 London NFL games as the Atlanta Falcons visit the home town Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley stadium.
Despite the fact that London has no signs that the NFL is in town, apparently this game is still going ahead.
Atlanta has looked limp in their run only offence, with Desmond Ridder either not living up to his potential, or not having as much as everyone thought.
Jacksonville has a had a struggling start to the season, no thanks to their offensive line which has seen Trevor Lawrence harassed more than he’s ever been.
Ryan thinks that this game will be another London stinker, with low points and even lower intensity.
Wade is also calling for a terribly low scoring game, as teams historically take time to adjust to being in the GMT.
Ryan-Jaguars 24 Falcons 17
Wade-Jaguars 18 Falcons 14

Dolphins (3-0) vs -2.5 Bills (2-1)  +53.5

Miami shocked the shakes out of the league last week by pounding the poor Broncos with 70 points, as they continue to load up on points. But they still haven’t face a really tough D up to this point.
Buffalo are favoured by 2.5 points against Miami? Many fans think this is an insult, given the Bills struggling in their first 2 games.
Ryan is big on his Bills, and likes the boys in Western New York to choke out the Dolphins with their fast front D.
Wade agrees with Ryan, and thinks that Miami will get a touch welcome from the Bills, who will finally give Tua that threat to his MMA training.
Ryan-Bills 31 Dolphins 27
Wade-Bills 30 Dolphins 26

Rams (1-2) vs -1 Colts (2-1)  +46.5

Los Angeles Rams took a tough loss to the Bengals in week 3, losing a few more defensive players in the process. Matt Stafford is playing with renewed confidence, thanks to some speedy new receivers who have stepped up.
The Colts are 2-1 with our Jonathan Taylor, and Matt Ryan. The last name isn’t as surprising, but the play of Anthony Richardson is. Back from injury, Richardson could thrive in fantasy points against an LA  team playing with only 4 days rest.
Ryan likes the Rams to take out the Colts here, with Matt Stafford finding some holes in this Indianapolis home team.
Wade likes Richardson to use his legs and find Pittman for a few scores, as he likes the Colts to dominate the poor, tired Rams.
Ryan-Rams 21 Colts 20
Wade-Colts 23 Rams 18
Among some of the other top picks that the guys look at in these Week 4 Picks include:

Ryan

  • Tampa Bay covers against the Saints
  • Bengals beat the Titans who cover
  • Seahawks beat the Giants

Wade

  • Texans upset the Steelers
  • Bears beat the Broncos
  • Patriots cover close against the Cowboys

That’s it for our Week 4 Picks podcast, make sure that you listen to the whole thing and share it with your friends.

To everyone attending the London game at Wembley stadium this Sunday, have fun! It looks like it will be a sunny day despite the slowdown in traffic.
